Kensington Palace

Beste Besuchszeit

Visit on a weekday morning right when gates open at 9:30 AM to avoid the biggest crowds. Summer months (July-September) are the only time the State Rooms are open, so plan ahead.

Budgettipps

Tickets cost £30 for adults, but children under 17 go half price and under-5s enter free. A family ticket saves about 15%, and the London Pass includes entry with skip-the-line access.

Schnelle Fakten: Der Sunken Garden des Palastes wurde 2017 in eine Gedenkstätte für Prinzessin Diana umgewandelt und zeigt 4.000 saisonale Blumen, die zu verschiedenen Jahreszeiten blühen. Über 500.000 Besucher passieren jährlich seine schmiedeeisernen Tore, viele in der Hoffnung, ein winkendes Mitglied der Königsfamilie auf dem Balkon zu sehen oder ein royales Babyfoto vor dem nahegelegenen Lindo Wing zu erhaschen.

Highlights: Der Palast hat noch immer eine funktionierende Wäscherei, die die Leinen der Königin mit einer 150 Jahre alten Mangel von Hand bügelt, und manchmal kann man den Duft von Lavendelstärke durch die Staatsräume wehen riechen. Im Obergeschoss verbirgt sich eine Geheimtür, die als Bücherregal getarnt ist und es dem königlichen Personal einst erlaubte, ungesehen zwischen den Flügeln zu wechseln, ein viktorianischer Trick, der Besucher noch heute täuscht.

Insidertipps

Skip the audio guide queue by downloading the free app on your phone before you arrive.
The Changing of the Guard happens at 11:00 AM but show up by 10:15 for a spot at the front gates.
Photography is banned inside the State Rooms, but the garden and exterior shots are fair game from the front lawn.
Wear comfortable shoes: the State Room tour covers nearly a kilometer of marble floors and red-carpeted corridors.
